Story summary
Netflix has released the first photo from its upcoming series "The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey," featuring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as Patsy and John Ramsey, the parents of murdered child beauty queen JonBenét. The show, set to dramatize one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history, will also delve into the "devastating personal and public reckoning" that followed JonBenét's death on December 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado. McCarthy, who played a comedic role previously, said the dramatic shift was challenging but noted she thinks their family deserves to be portrayed with humanity. She dismissed the speculation that they were responsible for their daughter’s murder as "a blood sport."

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
